FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of conveyanceservice management and more particularly to an interactive network andmethod for offering, managing, and securing conveyance services insubstantially real time.

BACKGROUND

As in many new industries, there are inefficiencies in existing supportsystems and methods due to the lack of experience in optimizing thesesystems for the needs of the new industry. These inefficiencies aretypically identified over time through trial and error, eventuallyleading to technological advancement in the field. This generalizationholds true for the conveyance industry, which includes a large number ofnew industry segments such as ride-hail, rideshare, and on-demanddelivery services.

The existing inefficient support systems and methods available to manyconveyance industry segments impose disadvantages on nearly allinvolved: the clients, the service providers, and the representativeswho perform the services on behalf of the service providers.

Many failings within the existing systems and methods are rooted incomputer technology and tied to the fact that the modern conveyanceindustry segments operate and change quite rapidly: a conveyance serviceoffering that is available one minute can be snapped up by anotherclient in the next minute, or a service request can be answered byanother representative before the service provider can respond anddispatch its representative. In the fast pace of the conveyance industrysegment, neither representatives nor conveyance clients can procure theavailable information and evaluate it rapidly and accurately to make awell-informed decision on the fly. There is currently no systemavailable to assist both representatives and conveyance clients with therapid processing capability needed to keep up with the rate of change.This lack of a substantially real time capability leads to arepresentative obtaining a suboptimal, one-size-fits-all conveyanceservice request and a conveyance client obtaining a suboptimal,one-size-fits-all conveyance service offering due to the inability toeasily apply their own preferences.

Currently, a conveyance client requesting a ride in the ride-hailindustry segment is offered different ride options, prices, wait times,and times to destination depending on which service provider is offeringa given conveyance service and when the conveyance service offering issecured. Often, a conveyance client is provided options of conveyanceservice offerings from only one service provider to accept or decline. Arepresentative is limited even further as only one conveyance servicerequest is shown when a representative wants to provide a conveyanceservice in any conveyance industry segment. The current approaches formatching up representatives with conveyance service requests, andconveyance service offerings to conveyance clients, is inefficient andwasteful.

The current systems and methods for a representative to analyze incomingconveyance service requests are very difficult and time consuming in thefast-paced, substantially real time environment of conveyance industrysegments. The current technology does not permit a representative toanalyze or evaluate and then accept conveyance service requests that therepresentative would prefer based on their individual preferences.Representatives are currently given a single conveyance service requestand only have the option of accepting or declining that specificconveyance service request, without an alternative. Frequently, thedetails of a conveyance service request that a representative isresponding to are not provided in advance but are only revealed afterthat conveyance service request has already been secured. Thus, arepresentative is forced to either blindly accept a conveyance servicerequest or decline to work at all.

In addition, a representative will often be penalized for canceling aconveyance service request that they may not wish to fulfill, even whenthe representative would ordinarily not have accepted the request in thefirst place had they been given a choice. This disadvantage, amongothers, has led to the common practice of representatives working formore than one service provider at the same time to allow some semblanceof choice. However, the effort required to evaluate incoming requestsfrom multiple service providers injects its own delays and detracts fromthe ability to rapidly respond as needed in the substantially real timeenvironment of conveyance industry segments. Specifically, to evaluateconveyance service requests, a representative would have to login tomultiple applications from different service providers and navigatebetween these applications, viewing one individual conveyance servicerequest per application. The serial approach to evaluating conveyanceservice requests can cause a representative to miss out on desirableconveyance service requests that a representative might have preferred.Currently there is no system that permits the simultaneously evaluationof multiple conveyance service requests from multiple service providersin substantially real time.

Without a way to evaluate conveyance service requests continuously insubstantially real time, a representative currently cannot maximizetheir efforts as efficiently as they would like. To secure a preferredconveyance service request, a representative might be tempted to foregoless desirable conveyance service requests in the hope that a morepreferred request to become available, but this risks missing out onincome if none comes along.

There is also currently no system or method to evaluate and secureconveyance service requests in substantially real time across more thanone conveyance industry segment. The absence of this capability furtherlimits a representative's exposure in the conveyance industry and theirability to operate more efficiently if the representative wants toprovide conveyance services across conveyance industry segments. Inaddition, current limitations also reduce the amount of potentialpreferred conveyance service requests available to a representative. Forexample, if a representative wants to provide a ride in the ride-hailindustry segment, then deliver food in the good delivery industrysegment to take advantage of overlaps in locations or routes, therepresentative does not have the ability to evaluate and secure therequests in substantially real time. If there were a system and methodto allow a representative to easily work across industry segments, therepresentative would have access to a greater number of diverseconveyance service requests allowing more efficient use of their timeand vehicle resources.

Currently, some service providers dynamically increase prices in certainareas for various reasons. Representatives looking to work moreefficiently or earn more money try to work in these areas as much aspossible, however, by the time a representative gets to the area withelevated pricing, the increased pricing may have moved or been removed.Representatives experience the challenge of chasing the elevated pricingareas but often cannot capitalize on them. This problem could beaddressed by providing a tool to allow representatives to predict wherethe areas of elevated pricing will be in order to maximize their earningpotential.

Conveyance clients often experience the same or similar challenges asrepresentatives experience. For example, when a conveyance client islooking to secure a conveyance service offering, the conveyance clientis only shown the closest representatives from an individual serviceprovider. The only way for conveyance clients to evaluate conveyanceservice offerings from a number of different service providers is a verytedious and time-consuming process similar to that for representatives.It also assumes that the conveyance client would be aware that there isa competitor available, access to which would require downloading thecompetitor's application, and inputting the same search criteria thatwas entered for the first service provider. This process would need tobe repeated for each additional competitor the client might wish toevaluate—an arduous process that likely leads to frustration more oftenthan success.

In fast-paced conveyance industry segments, where seconds matter inbeing able to secure a preferred conveyance service offering, existingapproaches are not practical for quickly analyzing conveyance serviceofferings. In most cases, by the time a conveyance client goes throughthe steps of considering the services offered by two or three differentservice providers, the preferred offering may no longer available. As aresult, a conveyance client often pays more or waits longer for aconveyance service than needed. Existing technology is also lacking in away to dynamically and visually present updated offerings from multipleservice providers in an interactive manner.

Further, when service providers increase their pricing in certain areas,conveyance clients currently do not have a means to determine if thereis an area nearby that does not have elevated pricing. Currently, thereis no way for a conveyance client to visually analyze or evaluatedifferent areas on a geographical map to see pricing information for anindividual service provider, much less for multiple service providers.This lack in transparency denies clients the opportunity to make aninformed purchasing decisions. In view of the foregoing, it is clearthat the conveyance industry has many unmet needs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

DEFINITIONS: Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientificterms used herein have the plain and ordinary meaning as would beunderstood by a person of skill in the art. Unless expressly limited,where a term is provided in the singular, the description contemplatesthe plural of that term, and where a term is provided in the plural, theinventors also contemplate the singular of that term. To provide aclarifying example, when an object is described, unless that object isexpressly described as a single object, “one or more object”, or “atleast one object” also falls within the meaning of that term.

As used herein, the term “substantially real time” means real time ornear real time.

In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes severalgeneral and useful aspects, including an interactive system in theconveyance and other industries and a method of use of the interactivesystem of the present invention. In one aspect, the present inventioncan be a technology-based solution that can use a substantially realtime system or method, i.e., substantially real time, to assist one ormore representative in analyzing or evaluating and then securing one ormore preferred conveyance service request using a visual representationof the present invention.

The inventive network and method are configured to receive and filterconveyance service requests based on one or more representativepreference and one or more substantially real time geographical locationof the representative(s). The present invention can identify one or morepreferred conveyance service request from one or more filteredconveyance service request. A visual representation of a filteredconveyance service request with corresponding conveyance data, apreferred conveyance service request with corresponding conveyance data,or a combination thereof, can be compiled with a geographical map on anapplication. The present invention can provide a representative with avisual tool to help evaluate and then secure a preferred conveyanceservice request.

One example of a visual representation within the inventive scheme is adynamic map. The dynamic map can be a geographical map that displays oneor more preferred conveyance service requests with correspondingconveyance data, a filtered conveyance service request withcorresponding conveyance data, or a combination thereof. A dynamic mapcan display the geographical location of a conveyance client, abeginning service geographical location, an ending service geographicallocation, pricing information, or combinations thereof. Therepresentative can visually identify one or more preferred conveyanceservice request to make well-informed decisions when evaluating and thensecuring a preferred conveyance service request. An importantimprovement provided by the invention approach is that a conveyanceclient, service provider, good supplier, corresponding conveyanceservice request, or combinations thereof, can be displayed individuallyas visually distinct features, each of which can be updated insubstantially real time.

Another example of a visual representation within the inventive schemeis a heat map, which is a geographical map in which an area can beshaded, colored, patterned, or a combination thereof, in proportion to ameasurement of one or more statistical variable to assist therepresentative when evaluating a conveyance service request. Heat mapsmay be used to display substantially real time data or historical data,or may be predictive.

Predictive heat maps display information compiled from one or morestatistical variable of a substantially real time filtered conveyanceservice request, a past filtered conveyance service request, or acombination thereof. The predictive heat map can estimate a futuresupply, future demand, a future statistical variable, or a combinationthereof. In some embodiments, the predictive heat map can employ machinelearning technology for generating the predictions.

Historical heat maps can display information compiled from one or morestatistical variable of a past filtered conveyance service request. Thehistorical heat map can show past supply, past demand, one or more paststatistical variable, or a combination thereof.

The visual representation can be a combination of dynamic maps and heatmaps. This combination map may be configured to allow the representativeto view one or more service provider operating within a conveyanceindustry segment on both macro and micro levels.

A key feature of the inventive scheme is the improved display ofinformation to facilitate different approaches to evaluate availableservices requests and options. For example, a dynamic map of the presentinvention allows a representative to visually distinguish betweenpreferred conveyance service requests and filtered conveyance servicerequests. The representative can use heat maps to determine whether agiven geographical location is a desirable area to work in. This highlyvisual approach gives the representative quick insights for securingconveyance service requests particularly because the visualrepresentation can be updated continuously in substantially real time.

The inventive approach provides the ability to generate new data thatcan be useful to the representative. In one embodiment, the predictivefunction can transform real time and/or past filtered conveyance servicerequests, into a predictive heat map that the representative can employto meet their work/revenue goals. Predictive heat maps help avoid missedopportunities that result from chasing an area of elevated pricing. Forexample, a predictive heat map can provide the representative with newdata for analysis based on combinations of real time and/or pastfiltered conveyance service requests and can utilize machine learningtechnology to predict future supply or future demand.

The inventive approach also increases the representative's ability tointeract with one or more of the conveyance client, the good or serviceprovider, or a combination thereof, due to increased insight into theconveyance industry segment. The present invention provides a tool forpresenting one or more preferred conveyance service request, one or morefiltered conveyance service request, conveyance data, or a combinationthereof, to be analyzed or evaluated by the representative.

The inventive approach enhances the representative's decision-makingability, allowing the representative to use one or more representativepreference, improving the ability for the representative to secure themost preferred conveyance service request available at that time.

In some embodiments, the inventive network and method can be configuredto receive and filter conveyance service offerings based on conveyanceclient preference and the substantially real time geographical locationof the client. The inventive approach can identify a preferredconveyance service offering from a filtered conveyance service offering.A visual representation of a filtered conveyance service offering withcorresponding conveyance data, a preferred conveyance service offeringwith corresponding conveyance data, or a combination thereof, can becompiled with a geographical map for display. The inventive systemprovides a conveyance client with a visual tool to help evaluate andthen secure a preferred conveyance service offering.

Visual representations of the conveyance service offerings can bedisplayed alone or in combinations in a similar manner to that describedabove for displaying conveyance service requests. Specifically, dynamicand/or heat maps can be displayed to allow the conveyance client tovisually identify preferred conveyance service offering(s) to make awell-informed decision when evaluating and then securing the offerings.A dynamic map can display one or more of geographical location of therepresentative, a beginning service geographical location, an endingservice geographical location, pricing information, or a combinationthereof using visually distinguishable symbols for various providers andofferings, or combinations thereof, which can be updated insubstantially real time.

In a similar manner to that described above with regard to conveyanceservice requests, heat maps can be used to assist conveyance clients inevaluating conveyance service offerings by displaying conveyance serviceofferings, or parameters thereof, that are real time, predictive, and/orhistorical.

The visual representations used to display the conveyance serviceofferings can be a combination of one or more dynamic map and heat map,allowing the conveyance client to view one or more service provideroperating within a conveyance industry segment on both a macro and microlevel.

The improved visualization described herein give conveyance clients thetool to easily identify and select a preferred conveyance serviceoffering relative to filtered conveyance service offerings. Theconveyance client can use a heat map to quickly determine whether theyare in an area of elevated pricing. The information provided on the mapsis updated continuously in substantially real time, providing the clientwith the ability to easily identify a preferred conveyance serviceoffering.

Another benefit of the inventive approach is the ability to generate newdata that can be useful to the conveyance client. In one embodiment, thepredictive function can transform real time and/or past filteredconveyance service offerings, into a predictive heat map that theconveyance client can use to help identify a future preferred conveyanceservice offering. For example, a predictive heat map can help a clientavoid paying more for a similar conveyance service. For example, apredictive heat map can provide the client with new data for analysisbased on combinations of real time and/or past filtered conveyanceservice offerings and can utilize machine learning technology to predictfuture supply or future demand.

The inventive approach also improves the conveyance client's ability tointeract with one or more of the representative, the good or serviceprovider, or a combination thereof, due to increased insight into theconveyance industry segment. The present invention provides a tool forpresenting one or more preferred conveyance service offering, one ormore filtered conveyance service offering, conveyance data, or acombination thereof, to be analyzed or evaluated by the client.

The inventive approach enhances the conveyance client's decision-makingability, allowing the conveyance client to use one or more clientpreference, improving the ability for the conveyance client to securethe most preferred conveyance service offering available at that time.

The visual representations generated by the inventive platform andmethod provide increased knowledge that allows informed selection ofconveyance requests by representatives and/or conveyance offerings byclients. Trends can be identified, and changes can be seen insubstantially real time, allowing quick response, whether it is therepresentative responding to a conveyance request or a client seeking tosecure a conveyance offering. The inventive approach provides theimproved transparency needed for securing preferred requests and/orofferings. For representatives, this translates to more control orflexibility over how and where they want to work. For conveyanceclients, improved insight into pricing, location, demand, and othervariables that impact the desirability and availability of conveyanceservices improve transparency and assist the client in making betterinformed choices.

In some embodiments, the processing of the conveyance service requestsand/or conveyance service offerings is enhanced through the use ofquantum computing, machine learning technology, or a combinationthereof.

The inventive platform and method enable a large number of conveyanceservice requests and offerings available to be considered by therepresentative and client, respectively. The larger the number ofchoices presented, the greater the chance of identifying and securing amost preferred conveyance service. For representatives, the increasednumber of service requests translates to more opportunities, increasedearning potential, improved flexibility, and greater efficiency. Forconveyance clients, the increased selection of conveyance offeringsrepresents money saving, reduced wait times, convenience, level ofservice, and more. For example, a conveyance client can use a heat mapto determine if they are in an area of elevated pricing and look for anearby area that does not have elevated pricing.

An important benefit of the invention scheme is the ability for arepresentative to operate or provide a conveyance service acrossmultiple conveyance industry segments, e.g., ride-hail and fooddelivery. Currently, service providers lack the ability to enable arepresentative to operate in an additional conveyance industry segmentat the same time. The inventive approach allows a representative tooperate initially in one conveyance industry segment, then perform aconveyance service in a different conveyance industry segment, and thengo back to operate in the first conveyance industry segment. Theinventive platform and method allow the representative to seamlesslytransfer between different conveyance industry segments based on therepresentative preference.

The inventive platform and method add value to the conveyance industryas a whole. Representatives can enhance job satisfaction and incomethrough the use of representative preferences. Conveyance clients canobtain shorter wait times, higher quality of conveyance service, and/ormore price transparency, using client preferences. Together, theinventive approach improves an existing system and method to enhance theconveyance industry segment to the benefit of all users.

The following examples describe non-limiting embodiments andapplications of the inventive system and method:

Example 1: Representative Maps

A first aspect of the present invention includes a substantially realtime system to assist a representative in the process of securing apreferred conveyance service request relating to a representativepreference and a substantially real time geographical location of therepresentative by using a visual representation.

FIGS. 1 and 2 provide high-level diagrams of an exemplary embodiment ofthe inventive system that can be of benefit to a representativeoperating in on or more conveyance industry segment. As shown in FIG. 1, conveyance service requests 13 can be sourced from an external server10 and can be transmitted to a central server 9 by way of a link 8. Aservice provider 5 can be associated with an external server 10. Eachservice provider 5 is associated with one external server 10. A centralserver 9 can filter conveyance service requests 13 into filteredconveyance service requests 14 by using a representative preference 3and the substantially real time geographical location of therepresentative 2. A central server 9 can calculate the weighted averageof the representative preference 3. A central server 9 can sort thefiltered conveyance service requests 14 in an order relating to thecorresponding weighted averages to identify a preferred conveyanceservice request 15. A preferred conveyance service request 15 can beidentified by a central server 9 from the filtered conveyance servicerequests 14 that has the highest weighted average. A preferredconveyance service request 15 with corresponding conveyance data andfiltered conveyance service requests 14 with corresponding conveyancedata can be transmitted from a central server 9 to an application 6 byway of a link 8. The application 6 can operate on a terminal 7 and candisplay a visual representation such a dynamic map 11 or a heat map 12,or a combination thereof. The representative 2 can analyze the visualrepresentation and then secure a preferred conveyance service request15. A link 8 can be a connection or an association with a softwarefunction or a software component relating to an application 6, aterminal 7, a central server 9, an external server 10, or a combinationthereof.

Referring to FIG. 2 , an individual conveyance service request 13 can besubmitted by each individual conveyance client 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, and1F. An individual conveyance service request 13 corresponds with eachindividual conveyance client 1 in the figure. Conveyance servicerequests 13A and 13B are submitted by conveyance clients 1A and 1B toexternal server 10A associated with service provider 5A. Conveyanceservice requests 13C and 13D are submitted by conveyance clients 1C and1D to external server 10B associated with service provider 5B.Conveyance service requests 13E and 13F are submitted by conveyanceclients 1E and 1F to external server 10C associated with serviceprovider 5C. Each service provider 5 can have one or more externalserver 10.

Central server 9 can receive conveyance service requests 13 and thenfilter the conveyance service requests 13 into filtered conveyanceservice requests 14 by comparing to, for example, the two representativepreferences 3 and the substantially real time geographical location of arepresentative 2. Conveyance service requests 13 that match theindicated two representative preferences 3 can be identified as filteredconveyance service requests 14. Conveyance service requests 13 that donot match the indicated two representative preferences 3 can bediscarded or ignored as not being filtered conveyance service requests14. Filtered conveyance service requests 14 can be sorted by a weightedaverage of the two representative preferences 3 to identify a preferredconveyance service request 15. Representative preferences 3 can beassigned equal weights of 50% when calculating a weighted average.Representative preferences 3 chosen by a representative 2 can optionallybe given unequal weights, e.g., 60% and 40% respectively. Arepresentative 2 can optionally choose for representative preferences 3to have equal or unequal weights.

A filtered conveyance service request 14 with the highest weightedaverage can be identified as a preferred conveyance service request 15.Central server 9 can identify a preferred conveyance service request 15from filtered conveyance service requests 14 by using the highestweighted average of the pricing preference and service durationpreference. Additional conveyance service requests 13 can be receivedand continuously filtered by a central server 9 into additional filteredconveyance service requests 14. Additional filtered conveyance servicerequests 14 can be sorted by a central server 9 into preferredconveyance service requests 15.

Filtered conveyance service requests 14 and a preferred conveyanceservice request 15 can be transmitted from a central server 9 to anapplication 6 by way of a link 8. An application 6 can then compile adynamic map 11 of filtered conveyance service requests 14 and apreferred conveyance service request 15 based on a representative's 2preferences. A dynamic map 11 can be compiled on an application 6 bycombining a geographical map relating to the substantially real timegeographical location of a representative 2 with filtered conveyanceservice requests 14 and a preferred conveyance service request 15.Filtered conveyance service requests 14 and a preferred conveyanceservice request 15 can be positioned on a dynamic map 11 relating tocorresponding geographical locations contained therein.

A preferred conveyance service request 15 can be displayed on a dynamicmap 11 as a visually distinguishable icon compared to filteredconveyance service requests 14. A dynamic map 11 can be refreshedcontinuously in substantially real time with updated filtered conveyanceservice requests 14 and a preferred conveyance service request 15.

A representative 2 can then visually evaluate a dynamic map 11 prior tosecuring a filtered conveyance service request 14 or a preferredconveyance service request 15. For example, in order to find anotherfiltered conveyance service request 14 or another preferred conveyanceservice request 15, a representative 2 can update a representativepreference 3. In this example, a representative 2 chooses to secure apreferred conveyance service request 15 identified by a central server9. A representative 2 can then perform a conveyance service. Anapplication 6, a central server 9, an external server 10, a terminal 7,a link 8, or a combination thereof, can be combined or integrated. Arepresentative 2 can utilize a visual representation that can display adynamic map 11 on a terminal 7 that can be integrated or associated withan application 6, a central server 9, an external server 10, a link 8,or a combination thereof. The representative uses the application toevaluate the visual representation and then secure the preferredconveyance service request.

The external server(s) are substantially real time sources of all orsome of the conveyance service requests transmitted in substantiallyreal time from the external server to the central server. All or some ofthe plurality of conveyance service requests are updated insubstantially real time. The central server standardizes, aggregates, ora combination thereof, in substantially real time, all or some of theplurality of conveyance service requests and further filters insubstantially real time, all or some of the plurality of conveyanceservice requests by using the representative preference and thesubstantially real time geographical location of the representative, toidentify all or some of the plurality of filtered conveyance servicerequests. All or some of the plurality of filtered conveyance servicerequests are updated in substantially real time. The central serverfurther identifies in substantially real time, the preferred conveyanceservice request from all or some of the plurality of filtered conveyanceservice requests relating to the representative preference. Thepreferred conveyance service request may be updated in substantiallyreal time. The central server further transmits in substantially realtime, all or some of the plurality of filtered conveyance servicerequests, the preferred conveyance service request, the representativepreference, or a combination thereof, to the application. The terminalfacilitates or provides an input function, a display function, andoperation of the application and is used by the representative tointerface with the application. The terminal, the application, thecentral server, the external server, a link, or a combination thereof,may be combined or integrated, and one or more function of the centralserver may be performed by the application. The application may compilein substantially real time, the visual representation of all or some ofthe plurality of filtered conveyance service requests, the preferredconveyance service request, the representative preference, or acombination thereof. The application displays the visual representationupdated in substantially real time. The representative may use theapplication to evaluate the visual representation and then secure thepreferred conveyance service request and perform the conveyance service.
